    Hi, I’m Rapha.

    Ten years in wine. Certified Sommelier, WSET Level 3, Certified Specialist of Wine. I started the WSET Diploma in London, passed Unit 6 with merit, failed Unit 1, and walked away.

    That’s when I realized the industry was teaching people what to think about wine, while skipping the harder work of teaching people how to perceive it. So I built something different. The 7-Day Tasting Reset is the foundation I wish I’d been given on day one: the ground floor of how to taste with your own mouth.
